Skaro |
|
Skaro was made into a radioactive wasteland following a 1000 year long nuclear civil war between the Kaleds and the Thals. Nearly all life, plant and animal, on Skaro perished. Due to the radiation levels there were many mutations leading to the birth of the Daleks. When the first Doctor visited Skaro with Ian, Barbara and Susan he found a petrified forest, and the petrified body of a creature that was made extinct during the war. All trees were like stone, and the ground was turned to dust. No crops could grow. The fourth Doctor visted Skaro during the war at the orders of the Time Lords. He was unable to stop the creation of the Daleks and the nuclear war that was in progress. The surface of the planet is barren and mountainous. The Dalek city visited by the first Doctor had an excellent natural defence for one side: an almost impassable mountain surrounded by a lake in which there are many ferocious mutations. In the last TV story to feature the Daleks Remembrance of the Daleks - at the end of the story the seventh Doctor blew up Skaros sun which apparantley blew up Skaro itself. However in the TV Movie it appeared again at the start of the film RELATED LINKS |
